My personal perfernce would be for a artist who uses brush and quill and feathers J.B.'s work
~~~~~
IMO JB's inks on himself are -not- feathered in any way, or at least in
the tradition of a brush. He uses sharpies to ink with.
Although you -can- feather a bit with a sharpie, IMO his inks do not
reflect that.

YOU DIDN'T PENCIL THAT FIRST? I had to re-read what you wrote
above. Wow dude. That's all i can say when something like
that just falls out of your pen.

I thought he used a japanees brush pen.
When i was working at DC Comics Paul Kuberberg informed
me of his tools .

http://www.byrnerobotics.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5493& amp;KW=inking+sharpies
I had asked him awhile ago about what he uses. Here's the jist of it:
++++++
JB: Over the span of my career I have used many
different tools, to achieve many different effects. When I first
started with Charlton, I was using f fine point felt tip pens, not
unlike the Sharpie pens I have been playing with recently -- tho with a
blue base to the ink, which sometimes presented problems. I have also
inked a lot with brush -- Windsor Newton Series 7, No 1 or 2. Much of
my early inks on FANTASTIC FOUR were done with a Rapidograph pen, a
tool to which I have also been known to return from time to time.
~~~~~
I've read that most inkers don't like markers and
have read where they have instructed people to not use them - the
reason being that 1. Marker will fade over time
****
JB: That depends on the marker used. Sharpies ,
for instance, are "permanent", meaning if one treats a piece drawn with
a Sharpie with the proper respect -- not hanging it in direct sunlight,
for instance -- it will last. I have a Neal Adams page from BRAVE AND
BOLD that was drawn about 35 years ago, much of it with marker, and not
a single line of it has faded or even reddened.
+++++
2. That you can't get the same dynamic line you can get with a brush.
****
JB: That depends on the artist. It is true that markers -- especially fine point, which are best for the kind of inking
we're discussing here -- don't have much "give" and cannot be depended
upon to produce line weight variation "automatically", as a brush does,
but in my own case I tend to sweep back and forth across the same line
several times, when penciling or inking with markers, and this puts in the necessary variation -- with, I might add, a degree of control not possible with a brush.
As
always, it comes down to "your mileage may vary", but I think it is
profoundly foolish for any professional to condemn the use of any tool
based on his/her own experiences with that tool. The best advice is
always "Find what works for you."

I did read that Joe Rubenstein (?) sometimes uses a real japanees caligraphy brush

On some pictures I would agree completely.
Your layout is looking magnificent! I love to look at your step
by step progression. It helps me learn a lot! Especially
with body composition.
And be careful of that bow string... :)
